Aims & Scope

The European Journal of Clinical Nutrition (EJCN) is an international, peer-reviewed journal covering all aspects of human and clinical nutrition. The EJCN focuses on original research and structured reviews conducted on humans but will consider brief communications and case reports. Preference will be given to clinical and community intervention trials, as well as robust cohort studies. The journal values research that explores newer approaches in diet therapy, improved patient outcomes during nutritional rehabilitation, innovative strategies for health promotion or studies confirming cause and effect relationships. The journal is open to receiving manuscripts that report negative findings.
